Just for fun, I took my camera to today's Farmer's Market in El Segundo . . .

I haven't been taking it lately, because the market has shrunk and is less interesting than it used to be. But suddenly, there are new vendors and and it's a lot more fun.

So, here's a few photos!

No matter how you say it, I must agree! They caught my eye and that meant a photo was going to happen!

In fact, I bought some small yams, and cooked them for part of our dinner tonight. They were the perfect size for one person each, and they were so easy to cook!

I really like the framing of the photos and the very colorful subjects. Thank you so much for sharing. Wish I could shop there for produce!

I have a lot of fun, practicing getting as close as I can to my subject. I love to fill the lens!

I wish you could shop here too.

It didn't take much to spruce the place up! One new vendor, one vendor expanded what they were selling . . .

And the sun came out! (We've had a very gray spring!)

I really appreciate your lovely comments.

More so during the tourist season but still enough to keep me interested. Fresh veg. fresh sourdough bread, baguette's and trinkets to grab your attention. LOts of multinational food stalls also..
I really should bring my camera next time...

Absolutely, you should take your camera! Why should I have all the fun around here?
